PREFACE 



A S the title indicates this volume contains a series of 
genealogies of native Long Island families compiled 
principally from records left by Benjamin F. Thompson, 
historian of Long Island who died March 21, 1849. 

During the latter part of his life, Thompson devoted con- 
siderable time to genealogical research, confining his activities 
to Long Island and he soon acquired a reputation in this line 
of endeavor second only to his historical achievements. 

Thompson's original material has been amplified to a con- 
siderable degree where it was found possible or advisable to 
do so. Much of the biographical and descriptive matter comes 
from the pen of the compiler. Generally speaking, the gen- 
ealogies have not been extended beyond the "forties" of the 
past century to which point the historian carried them. One 
generally knows the names and particulars of one's grand- 
parents and the present day generations of the families herein- 
after mentioned, can if they choose, call to mind the members 
of their respective families who were born, married or died 
since the period mentioned above. 

Thompson's genealogical manuscripts were carefully tied 
in bundles and at the historian's death were found in the same 
receptacle that contained the manuscript of the third edition 
of his well known "History of Long Island" lately published. 
From these facts it is evident that he intended to publish them 
separately or as an appendix to his History. Their length and 
importance precluded the latter possibility and they are now 
given to the reader as a separate and distinct work.

DICKERSON 

This family is particularly noted for the eminent positions in 
different walks of life which several of its members have held. 
True, these men did not reside on Long Island, but they all 
belonged to the same family, and in the case of one, Hon. Mahlon 
Dickerson of New Jersey, there arose an attachment for the land 
of his ancestors that was manifest on many occasions. 

The family is supposed to have come from the Isle of Ely, 
Cambridgeshire, England. It is known that Philemon and 
Nathaniel Dickerson were brothers, and it is generally conceded 
that John* and Thomasf were also, thus making a family of four 
brothers who came to the new world. It is supposed that all four 
emigrated together or within a few years of each other, but we 
have definite information on this point in the case of only one, 
Philemon Dickerson who shipped as a passenger on board the 
"Mary Anne" of Yarmouth, on May lo, 1637. He is named in 
this connection, as a servant (employee) of Benjamin Cooper, 
husbandman, aged 50, of Brampton in Suffolk County, England, 
or of Cooper's sister aged 48. He made known his desire to 
settle at Salem. Mass., and we find first trace of him there in 
1639, pursuing his trade of a tanner. He was made freeman of 
Salem in 164 1, and there married Mary Paine, eldest d. of 
Thomas Paine of Salem, who was born Oct. 12, 1611, and died 
March i, 1697, aged 86. 

About 1649 ^^ removed with his family to Southold, Long 
Island, where he spent the remainder of his days and where his 
descendants are still found. He was a prominent man in the set- 
tlement and seems to have been looked up to, somewhat, by the 
other settlers, perhaps on account of force of character or some 
other attainment. His home lot, consisting of about four acres, 
was at the extreme southeastern end of the settlement, fronting 
on Town Street, and bounded south by the head of Jockey Creek. 
The land is, or was. recently owned by the Terry family and the 
pioneer's dwelling stood a few rods east of an old barn which 
belonged to Hiram Terry, some thirty-five years ago. As late 
as 1882, the remains of Philemon's tan vats could be plainly 
discerned in a hollow just east of this barn. In common with 
others, he owned many other tracts of land in different parts of 
the town. 

Philemon Dickerson died at Southold. May 27, 1672, aged 
about 74. His will bears date of June 20, 1665. and was proved 



* Settled at Salisbury, Mass., in 1640. f See page 23.

appoints his brother John^ and Ensign Benjamin Reeve as execu- 
tors, who however, refused to act, and the will was not probated 
until April 10, 1739, when Daniel,* his second son, was appointed 
administrator, having probably then become of age. His widow, 
Abigail, on March 17, 1737, md. Charles Wager, formerly of 
Boston, Mass., two of whose children married two of his step- 
children. All of Thomas Dickerson's children with the exception

Genealogies of Long Island Families 17 

mont with her husband and children, who were Thomas Dicker- 
son,^ Joseph,^ Obadiah,^ d. Dec. t.j, 1755; Naomi,^ Hannah^ and 
Elizabeth.^ 

VL Elizabeth* md. Andrew Wager, Jan. 21, 1743. 

VII. Peter/ the youngest child, was b. in 1725, after the 
death of his father. He md. first, Oct. 20, 1745, Ruth, d. of 
Joseph Coe, and sister of Benjamin and Thomas Coe, who moved 
to New Jersey from Queens County, Long Island, about the same 
time as Peter did. She d. Feb. 10, 1763, and her husband md., 
second, Nov. 7, 1763, Sarah Armstrong, widow of John O'Hara. 
Peter Dickerson* was a member of the first Provincial Congress 
of New Jersey, in 1775, and subsequently commanded the second 
company of the Third Regiment of the New Jersey Brigade, 
raised in 1776, of which Col. Elias Dayton was commander. 
Capt. Dickerson, in 1776, accompanied his regiment on an expedi- 
tion against Sir John Johnson and his Mohawk Indians, who were 
located about 18 miles above Schenectady, N. Y. Sir John and 
his dusky allies retired and after building a fort on the Mohawk 
River, known as Fort Dayton, the regiment returned. He died 
at Morristown, N. J., May 10, 1780, and is buried there. His 
valuable Revolutionary papers passed into the hands of his 
widow's executor, who carried them into the western part of 
New York State, where they were lost. Children of Peter 
Dickerson* by his first marriage were : 

1. Mary,^ b. March 31, 1746; md. David Case, Dec. 22, 1763, 
and d. in 1774. 

2. Jonathan^ was b. Sept. 20, 1747, and was named after 
President Jonathan Dickinson of Princeton College. On Oct. 12, 
1768, md. his cousin, Mary (b. Sept., 1752), d. of Thomas Coe, 
who came from Queens County, Long Island, as mentioned 
before. He d. Nov. 7, 1805, aged 58, and is buried at Morristown, 
N. J. Children were : 

a. Mahlon,^ b. April 17, 1770. and d. Oct. 5, 1858. Mahlon 
Dickerson achieved national prominence as Governor of New 
Jersey, United States Senator and Secretary of the Navy. It is 
not within the province of this genealogy to give an extended 
biography of this most distinguished member of the Dickerson 
family, but it is our pleasure to briefly touch some of the lesser 
known aspects of his interesting and useful life. To those who 
seek a full account of his career, we recommend either Vol. 10 
of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record or Apple- 
ton's Dictionary of American Biography. The fairly numerous 
publications concerning New Jersey's famous men also render 
good accounts of his life and labors. 

Mahlon Dickerson graduated at Princeton College, in the class 



18 Genealogies oe Long Island Families 

of 1789, to which Silas Wood, first historian of Long Island, also 
belonged. A strong friendship existed between the two states- 
men which was accentuated when both men became members oi 
the same Congress in after years, Dickerson as Senator from 
New Jersey, and Wood as Congressman from the Long Island 
district of New York. 

Mr. Dickerson had another close friend in Benjamin F. 
Thompson, historian of Long Island, and source of these gene- 
alogies. The friendship started through Thompson's efforts to 
familiarize himself with the genealogy of those members of the 
Dickerson family who had removed to New Jersey. Into this 
undertaking, Mr. Dickerson entered enthusiastically. Pride in 
his Puritan and Revolutionary ancestors was a characteristic of 
the man and the antiquities of his native land always claimed 
from him, interest and respect. 

Mr. Dickerson made several visits to Long Island and never 
failed to stop at the historian's home at Hempstead, and spend a 
few days. Thompson, accompanied by his wife and daughter, 
returned the call at Mr. Dickerson's home in Suckasunny, N. J., 
and mention is made of this pleasant visit in Thompson's biog- 
raphy contained in the Enlarged Edition of his well-known His- 
tory of Long Island. On his last visit to Southold, in the sum- 
mer of 185 1, Mr. Dickerson erected a dignified monument to the 
memory of his forebears who were among the early settlers of 
that historic town. The shaft can still be seen in the Presbyterian 
graveyard. Speaking of his ancestors, he once said : "In early 
times few men of fortune or distinction emigrated to this coun- 
try — people came here generally to better their condition, of such 
I believe was my ancestor who first came to this country. I believe 
myself to be a descendant of a race of honest, industrious, psalm- 
singing deacons, with which pedigree I am content." 

Mahlon Dickerson was admitted to the bar in 1793, and 
removed to Philadelphia in 1796, where he practised his profes- 
sion for 13 years. He was appointed by Governor McKean, 
Adjutant General of Pennsylvania, and subsequently Recorder of 
the City of Philadelphia, which office he resigned in 1810 and 
returned to New Jersey, where he was elected Governor in 1815 
and again in 1816. In 1817 he was elected United States Senator 
from New Jersey and thereupon resigned the Governorship. Mr. 
Dickerson held the position of Senator for sixteen years, or until 
1833, and during this long incumbency he made an enviable name 
for himself as a statesman. In 1834, he was nominated by Presi- 
dent Andrew Jackson and confirmed by the Senate as Minister 
to Russia, taking the place of James Buchanan, afterwards Presi- 
dent, but was induced to decline this office and accept that of 
Secretary of the Navy, upon the duties of which he entered July

I, 1834. Failing- health caused him to resign this position in 1838 
and retire to private life. Although not again holding official 
position, he was a potent factor in the councils of the Democratic 
party for many years. He also took much pleasure in agri- 
cultural pursuits and conducting his extensive and valuable iron 
mines upon his estate at Suckasunny, Morris County, N. J. In 
May, 1846, he succeeded General James Tallmadge as President 
of the American Institute. 

He lived for a considerable portion of his life at Suckasunny, 
N. J., where he was much interested in operating the above- 
mentioned iron mines which had formerly belonged to his father. 

He died Oct. 5, 1858, aged 88. Mr. Dickerson never mar- 
ried and is buried at Suckasunny. A plain monument with the 
following inscription marks the spot : 

"Mahlon Dickerson, son of Jonathan and Mary Dickerson; 
born April 17, 1770, died Oct. 5, 1858. His biography is writ- 
ten in legislative records. 'Mark the perfect man and behold the 
upright, for the end of that man is peace'." 

b. Silas,** b. Oct. 3, 1771 ; d. Jan. 7, 1807, aged 35. Silas 
Dickerson was frequently a member of the New Jersey State 
Legsilature, and in 1801 was chosen Speaker of the House of 
Assmbly. He was accidentally killed January 7, 1807, at the age 
of 35 years, leaving a son who died prior to 1849.

Dickerson graduated at Princeton, 1804, and received the degree 
of M.D. at the University of Pennsylvania in 1809. He md. a 
daughter of John Connaroe, of Philadelphia, and settled at Mar-

Nov. 9, 1824, aged 41, leaving Julia,'^ his only child, who was 
brought up by her uncle, Mahlon Dickerson. 

f. John,** b. March 10, 1786; d. without issue, 1822.

the University of Pennsylvania in 1808 and md. Sidney M., 
daughter of Col. John Stotesbury, of New York, a Revolutionary 
officer. He commenced the practice of law in Paterson, N. J., 
and was elected Governor of New Jersey in 1836 and 1837. In

March, 1841, he was appointed judge of the United States Court 
for the District of New Jersey, which office he held as late as 
1849. He left four children: John Henry, ^ Edward N.,'' Phile- 
mon^ and Mary/ John Henry Dickerson^ md. and settled as a 
surveyor at St. Martinsville, La., and had three children, his

As the descendants of Philemon Dickerson^ are enumerated 
with considerable detail in Vol. XXX, N. Y. Gen. and Biog. 
Record, the line is not repeated here. Furthermore, they all 
resided in New Jersey, and there is nothing regarding them of 
interest to a student of Long Island families. 



The following line, descendants of Nathaniel Dickerson, 
brother of Philemon Dickerson,^ is here given in outline because 
of the fact that one member of this branch married the noted 



Genealogies of Long Island Families 21 

preacher, Rev. Caleb Smith, a native of Long Island, and one 
who was intimately connected with the early history of Princeton 
College. Members of this branch of the Dickerson family did 
not live on Long Island. Many of them spelled their name 
"Dickinson." 

Nathaniel Dickerson, brother of Philemon Dickerson^, 
located at Weathersfield, Conn., but removed to Hadley, Mass., 
in 1657. He was the first deacon of the church there and d., 
aged 70, in 1670. Children : 

I. Samuel/ b. 1638. 

II. Obediah,^ b. 1641. 

III. Nathaniel/ b. 1643. 

IV. Nehemiah/ born 1644. Children were: i. Nehemiah,^

b. 1684, md. Benjamin Church ; 8. Nathaniel,^ b. 1689, and lived 
in Sunderland, Mass.; 9. Israel,^ b. 1691 ; 10. Ebenezer,^ b. 1696; 
II. Rebecca,^ b. 1699, ^^- Jonathan Smith. 

V. Hezekiah/ b. 1646 ; lived in Hadley, Springfield and 

Hatfield. Mass., succesively. He md. Abigail , and was the 

father of Rev. Jonathan Dickinson,^ first President of the College 
of New Jersey, afterwards called Princeton College. He was b. 
April 22, 1688, graduated at Yale College, 1706, and was pastor 
of the Presbyterian Church at Elizabethtown, N. J., for nearly 
forty years. He assumed the ofiice of first president of Prince- 
ton College, on Oct. 22, 1746, but died just a year later on Oct. 
7, 1747, aged 59. His wife, Joanna, died April 20, 1745, aged 63. 
His successor as president of the college was Rev. Aaron Burr, 
father of Col. Aaron Burr, the statesman. 

Rev. Jonathan Dickinson's^ second daughter Martha,* md. 
Rev. Caleb Smith, a very able preacher and native of Long Island. 
He was b. 1724, at St. George's Manor, Mastic, L. I., the son 
of Major William Henry Smith, who was son of Colonel Wil- 
liam Smith, patentee of St. George's Manor and founder of 
the "Tangier" Smith family, so-called from the fact that Col. 
Smith had been governor of the British colony of Tangier, 
Africa, before coming to America. He was also an intimate 
friend of the second president of Princeton, Rev. Aaron Burr, 
and preached the funeral sermon over the body of his friend. 
The sermon was entitled "Diligence in the Work of God, and 
Activity During Life." It was published at New York in 1758, 
and is a small duodecimo volume — a very rare item and much 
sought after by collectors. Rev. Caleb Smith also edited a ser- 



22 Genealogies of Long Island Families 

mon preached by Rev. Aaron Burr at the funeral of Governor 
Jonathan Belcher, of New Jersey, who died August 31, 1757. 
This was also published and is fully as rare as the before-men- 
tioned work. 

Rev. Caleb Smith was pastor of the Presbyterian Church at 
Newark Mountains, N. J., (now Orange), where he died Oct. 
22, 1762. His children by this marriage were Nancy,** Eliza- 
beth* and Jane.* Rev. Mr. Smith had a son ApoUos* by his 
second wife Rebecca Foot. Mary,* another daughter of Presi- 
dent Dickinson, married John Cooper; and another, Abigail,* 
married Jonathan Sergeant, of Princeton, N. J., whose son, 
Jonathan D. Sergeant,* was a distinguished lawyer of Phila- 
delphia, Pa., and died in 1793. His son, John Sergeant,® was a 
Member of Congress from that city.

2. Josiah,*' b. 1789. 

3. Also five daughters,^ names unknown. 



Samuel Dickerson, of Maryland, was probably a descendant 
of some one of the early generations of the Dickerson family. 
Mention of his descendants is here made as they held prominent 
positions in the walk of life; and also to prevent confusion, as 
there were two Philemon Dickersons in this line who must not be 
confounded with those bearing the same name who were descend- 
ants of Philemon Dickerson,^ of Southold, L. I. The fact that 
"Philemon" was a favorite name with this family, is evidence that 
they were related to the other branches. Samuel Dickerson was 
a wealthy man and his son, General Philemon Dickerson of the 
Revolutionary Army, commanded the New Jersey Militia at the 
battle of Monmouth. General Dickerson was afterwards a mem- 
ber of Congress from New Jersey, and died at Trenton, N. J., 
Feb. 4, 1809, aged 68. 

John Dickinson, another son of Samuel, an eminent statesman 
and political writer, was the author of the celebrated "Farmer's 
Letters," which produced a wonderful effect in establishing 
American liberty. He was born in 1732, and died Feb. 15, 1808, 
aged 75- . . 

Philemon Dickerson, president of the Trenton Banking Co. 
during the "forties" of the past century, was a grandson of Gen- 
eral Philemon Dickerson above mentioned. 



A Thomas Dickerson was of Rowley, Mass., in 1643, ^^^ ^^^^ 
in 1662, leaving a son, James and four daughters. He may be 
the Thomas who is supposed to be a brother of NathanieP and 
Philemon^ as mentioned on page II. 



Nathan Dickerson, who was b. at Southold, L. L, Dec. 29, 
1790, was probably a descendant of Thomas Dickerson^ (Phile- 
mon^), of whose line there is no record. He was a minister of 
the Gospel. His son Halsey was md. three times ; first to Parnissa 
Leek ; second to Elizabeth Sawyer, and third to Polly Overton, on 
Oct. 15, 1848. By his first wife he had issue: Charles Wesley, 
Maria, George Whitfield, Mary Sophia, Emma, Martha, Elizabeth, 
Sarah, John Nelson, William Fletcher and Francis Asbury. 



Samuel Dickerson, perhaps also a descendant of Thomas,^ 
md. Julia Wells of Southold, Feb. 11, 1792. 



MITCHILL 



This family is native to that part of old Queens County now 
Nassau County and several of its members have achieved promi- 
nence in the public eye, chiefly Dr. Samuel L. Mitchill, scientist, 
statesman, physician and author. It should not be confused with 
the Michell family which appeared at Bridgehampton, Suffolk 
County about 1650. 

Robert Mitchill, a descendant of Sir Humphrey Mitchill of 
Old Windsor, Berkshire, England ; md. first Mary Lockerson and 
second Hester Smith by whom he had Robert^ first of the name 
in America, who was born in 1670 and came to New York about 
1694. He is supposed to have removed to the town of North 
Hempstead about 1700 but his name does not appear in the town 
records until April 7, 17 13 when he was chosen "surveyor of 
highways" and "fence viewer" for Madnan's* Neck. His home- 
stead was at Cow Neckf and like most of the settlers at that 
time, he was a farmer. In the town records, under date of April 
2, 1717 we read of "ye spring yt hath a hollow tub in it yt is ye 
spring yt Robert Mitchill fetcheth water at." His first wife was 
the widow Phebe Thorne, maiden name Denton ; and the second, 
Hannah: Van Wyck,$ widow of Thomas Cornell. He often held 
the office of surveyor of highways and fence viewer, and in 1740 
he was chosen one of the town trustees. His ear mark for cattle 
was "a Swallow fork in the off Ear and a hole in the Near Ear 
and a half penny the fore Side the same." Robert Mitchill^ died 
in 1743 aged 83. He had eleven children, three by his first wife 
and eight by the second.

I. Uriah^ md. Susan Hubbs, Feb. 27, 1735. He was active- 
ly engaged in the Revolutionary War. After the battle of Long 
Island, fought during the last week in August 1776, he removed 
to Newburgh, N. Y., with many other refugees (see F. G. 
Mather's L. I. Refugees p. 468). There he served in the 4th 
Dutchess Regiment and was Quartermaster of General Mc- 
Dougall's Brigade, 1777- 1778, later serving as Post Quartermas- 
ter at Newburgh until July 1782. After peace was declared he

returned to his home at North Hempstead and was appointed 
Sheriff of Queens County on Feb. i6, 1784, which office he held 
until 1788. During the latter part of his life, he lived at Success 
Lake and frequently held the office of surveyor of highways. His 
ear mark for cattle was "Crop Near Ear half penny under Slitt 
off half penny fore side." Children were:

III. Jacamiah^ md. May 30, 1730 Elizabeth d. of Major 
Thomas Jones of Oyster Bay who was b. about 17 10 and d. after 
1768. She probably survived her husband and md. again, for she 
is spoken of as Elizabeth Lawrence, in the settlement of her 
brother Thomas Jones'* estate. Jacamiah Mitchill is first spoken 
of in the Hempstead Town Records, in 1736 when he owned land 
on the north side of the "Great Plains"; and again in 1745 when 
he owned land in the same locality. Children were : 

1. Sarah^ md. Joseph Bowne.

7. William^ bapt. June 11, 1731. 

Jacamiah Mitchill's will was probated June 17, 1747 from 
which we judge that he d. in that year. Said will mentions wife 
Elizabeth, brother John, Jacob Smith husband of wife's sister 
Freelove Jones, son Jacamiah and five daughters. 

By his second wife Hannah, Robert Mitchill^ had the follow- 
ing children :

the Line, and was captured by the British on Long Island in Oct. 
1780. Besides these military services he was Assemblyman from 
1798-1808; Claim Agent for the State of N. Y. ; Alderman of

28 Genealogies of Long Island Families 

I. Charles^ was a physician and lived at Manhasset. He md. 
Elizabeth d. of John Thorne and had five children of whom here- 
after. Dr. Charles Mitchill when a boy, lived with his uncle Dr. 
Samuel Latham at Plandome where his cousins Singleton 
MitchilP and Samuel Latham MitchilP also resided. Dr. Latham 
d. July 24, 1781 and bequeathed part of his land to his nephew 
Charles, who later exchanged it for property at Manhasset be- 
longing to his uncle Robert Mitchill,^ and lived thereafter at this 
place. The house whch Dr. Mitchill obtained from his uncle, is 
still standing in the village of Manhasset and is a very fine and 
substantial example of colonial architecture. He was frequently 
overseer of roads and highways and a prominent man in the town. 
On the first Tuesday in April 1803 the town of North Hempstead 
granted to him the right to erect a mill on the creek running into 
Manhasset Bay, near his home. 

"At the above Said Townmeeting it was Unanimously Voted 
that Dr. Charles Mitchill Shall have and is hereby given Liberty 
to Erect a building and Mill on the Stream from which the Saw 
Mill was Lately Taken and adjoining the Mill Dam, and bridge 
over which the publick Highway now runs off the head of Cow- 
neck to great neck in the Town of North Hempstead, the said 
Charles Mitchill his heirs and assigns to make and keep the Said 
Dam and Bridge Sufficient for a good publick Highway, and to 
grind and boult for the Inhabitants of Said Town for the Ac- 
customed Toll in Case he Erects a Gristmill on Said Stream." 

The mill was erected and traces of it may still be seen at this 
date (1918).

penny under Each Ear and a hole in the Near Ear." In 1761 
he is named as pounder, that is an official of the public pound, 
and in 1762 he was overseer of highways. Robert Mitchill lived 
in the Mitchill homestead at Manhasset near the creek flowing 
into Manhasset Bay. In 1781 he exchanged this property for 
lands belonging to his nephew Dr. Charles Mitchill at Plandome

"Singleton Mitchill, 4th son of Robert and Mary Mitchill, 
was born on Cow Neck L. I., May 9th 1774 and at the age of 3 
years went to live with his uncle Dr. Samuel Latham, where he 
continued to reside dur'ing the life of the latter whose death took 
place July 24, 1781 and by his will gave his nephew t his farm and

mill at Plandome, on condition of his paying to the Doctor's 
brother Thomas Latham, the sum of $5000. 

At the age of 15 years the subject of this notice lost his father 
July 12, 1789. At this time he was invited by his cousin Joseph 
Latham a merchant at Rahway N. J., to reside with him; and had 
been there but a few months when his neighbor John Town, post- 
master of that place, in the spring of 1790 made him his deputy 
which office he continued to fill till he left there in the autumn of 
1792. He then returned to Long Island and took charge of his 
mill property till he came of lawful age in May 1795 ; allowing his 
brothers Joseph, George, and Robert to share with him in the 
profits thereof, as if they had been joint owners thereof. 

In 1796, young Mitchill purchased of Benj. Tredwell a farm 
of 60 acres at the head of the neck, together with a store and 
stock of groceries therein, which he carried on for nearly two 
years when he sold the same to Samuel Wooley at an advance 
of $1000 having made $1500 more by his business, being a gain 
of $2500, and returned to his farm at Plandome in Sept. 1798. 

In the spring of 1799, being in the city of New York, he fell 
in with his friend Robert Sheffield in command of the ship 
' Mars,' belonging to Lefferts and Carpenter, who invited him to 
accompany him to Liverpool, passage free, which he accepted and 
having engaged a part of the vessel, purchased for the purpose of 
exportation 100 bushels of rye flour and 500 bushels of rye in 
grain. But before it was put on board he sold his interest in the 
freighting of the vessel to Francis Thompson who also agreed 
to take the flour and grain ofif his hands at cost. Having pocketed 
the money, he returned to his labors at the mill. 

In Nov. 1800 he accompanied a friend to Albany to attend a 
meeting of the Legislature convened for the choosing of electors 
for President and Vice President of the United States. While 
strolling along the docks of that city, he found a vessel about to 
leave for New York without a cargo and bargained with the 
captain to furnish him a freight within two days. He thereupon 
engaged a number of active boys to go out upon the roads west 
of Albany, meet wagons coming into the city with wheat and if 
not already sold, direct them to the vessel. In the course of the 
next day, 1500 bushels were received on board at 12/6 per bushel. 
That evening another vessel from Rahway was about to return 
without a cargo — Mitchill agreed to load him also with wheat, 
provided the captain would loan him the money to pay for it. This 
was agreed upon and in the course of a day or two more 1700 
bushels were delivered on board at the same price. On arriving 
at New York he sold both cargoes at 3/6 per bushel advance, 
making a neat gain of about $1200 in 10 days.

In April 1800 he gave to his brothers George and Robert, 
$3000 each to induce them to leave the farm, and entered upon 
farming and milling on his own account. On the 12th day of 
May I&D3 he married Maria, daughter of the Hon. John Schenck 
then State Senator. In the summer of 1805 he built a small 
sloop of 20 tons called the 'Early Ann' which he employed in his 
milling business. In 1806 he bought his brother Joseph also out 
of the concern for $3000 more and was the same year appointed 
a justice of the peace. In Feb. 1808 went into Suffolk County 
to purchase cattle by which he cleared $200. He was engaged 
more extensively in agriculture, horticulture etc., by which his 
farm was greatly improved. In 181 1 was a delegate to the Con- 
gressional convention at Tammany Hall when Geo. Townsend of 
Queens County was nominated to represent the first district and 
was elected. In 181 5 he was among the most efficient persons 
engaged in building the Dutch Reformed church at Manhasset. 
In 1820 he was elected Supervisor of his town, with particular 
reference to carrying on the controversy with the adjoining town 
of Hempstead relating to the common lands and marshes of that 
town, to a part of which the former town claimed to be entitled, 
on the ground that it was the common property of both when the 
original town was divided into two towns. The case was de- 
cided in favor of Hempstead in despite of counsel opposed to 
them, Robert Emmett, John Duer and Ambrose Spencer, and cost 
the town of North Hempstead. $6029.62^. 

In June 1819 he was chosen a Vice President of an Agricul- 
tural Society founded in Queens County and the next year re- 
ceived for premiums, 6 ten dollar silver mugs, half a dozen tea- 
spoons, besides other articles. In 1818 he became one of the 
Judges of the County Courts. In 1826 was a delegate to the 
State Convention at Utica, which resulted in the nomination and 
election of De Witt Clinton for Governor and Henry Hunting- 
ton for Lieut. Governor of the State — 1827 was elected President 
of the North Hempstead Bible Society. In 1834 was one of the 
vice presidents of the convention at Herkimer, when Wm. L. 
Marcy and John Tracy were nominated and subsequently elected 
Governor and Lieut. Governor. In 1835 was a delegate of the 
State Convention to the National Convention at Baltimore on 
the 20th May when Martin Van Buren and Richard M. Johnson 
were nominated for President and Vice President of the U. S., 
and were afterwards elected. He was first Judge of Queens 
County for several years. He was one of the commissioners for 
receiving subscriptions for, and distributing the stock of the Long 
Island Railroad — and was a trustee of the Jones fund, (for care 
of the poor) from its organization. 

He lost his wife Sept. 19, 1830 aged 49 and on Dec. 13, 183 1

We may add that his first wife Maria Schenck was born May 
12, 1803 and his second wife Sarah Hewlett was born Feb. 22, 
1788. He died Dec. 9, 1861. All of his children, 10 in number,

Dr. Samuel L. Mitchill was a figure of national prominence in 
the realm of science and was by far the most illustrious member 
of this family. His versatility was remarkable and he is noted 
as statesman, scientist, physician, author and lawyer. Dr. Mitchill 
was called the Nestor of American Science and he richly deserved 
the appellation. Extended biographies can be found in the va- 
rious biographical publications and there are several separate 
publications devoted to his life and memory. Therefore we will 
devote ourselves to some intimate details of his busy life and 
such matter as we believe has not been generally published. 

In this connection we append herewith an article written by 
his friend Benj. F. Thompson and published in the Hempstead 
"Inquirer" : 

The Late Samuel L. Mitchill, L. L. D. 

Some of the older inhabitants of Hempstead may remember 
the Rev. Leonard Cutting, rector of St. George's Church, who 
was settled here in Aug. 1766, and removed to the southward in 
1784, the year subsequent to the close of the revolutionary war. 
Mr. Cutting was a man of extensive learning, a finished scholar, 
and had been professor of classical literature in Kings (now Co- 
lumbia) College, N. Y. the faculty of which had been separated 
and the course of studies interrupted by the war. Mr. Cutting 
not only loved learning himself, but was strongly attached to 
those of his pupils, who were anxious to acquire it. While 
he taught a school here in his own house, he had among other 
pupils, who afterwards arose to distinction in various situations, 
Samuel L. Mitchill, a native of Cow Neck, L. I., and subsequent- 
ly one of the most useful and scientific men in the United States. 
Mr. Cutting and young Mitchill soon became mutually attached 
to each other; the one from finding a capable and willing instruc- 
tor, and the other in acquiring an ardent, industrious and docile 
pupil. Their intercourse became more than usually familiar, 
from the kindness of the one, and the obedience and studious 
habits of the other. Young Mitchill boarded with a farmer at 
some distance from the school, for in those difficult and trouble- 
some times, while the enemy was in possession of the Island, it

was necessary to be very careful and economical in the expendi- 
tures of a family — and this probably, is the reason why he was 
not allowed by the family in which he lived, a candle by which he 
could study at night — and he could only pursue his studies by the 
light of a fire. — Such a flickering, uncertain light injured his eyes, 
and caused that short-sightedness which accompanied him through 
life. His preceptor becoming acquainted with the situation of 
his pupil, and desirous of encouraging his application to books, 
invited him to rise early, come to his room, and study there, be- 
fore the other pupils arrived. This invitation was accepted, and 
Mitchill generally arose before sunrise, prepared his own break- 
fast, walked a mile, and frequently arrived at the school before 
his preceptor was out of bed. This course was highly gratifying 
to Mr. Cutting, for instead of being displeased at such early calls, 
he stimulated his pupil to repeat them, and afforded him every 
facility in his power. A habit of industry and early rising was 
thus established, and so well confirmed that it never forsook him. 
The good old man when thus aroused from his slumbers, would 
cautiously approach the door and inquire, "Samuel, is that you?" 
and being answered in the affirmative, would open the door, and 
bestow enconiums upon his favorite pupil. By this means, the 
industrious scholar ingratiated himself into the good opinion of 
his worthy teacher, and became proficient and foremost in the 
studies pursued in the school. Here he acquired the first ele- 
ments of Greek and Latin, and read the principal books, prepara- 
tory to a more extended collegiate course. 

But the opportunity of a further prosecution of academic 
studies on a more extensive plan, under competent instructors, 
never occurred, and his proficiency in these learned languages, for 
which he was in after life remarkable, was the effect of subse- 
quent private tuition, and long continued self application. 

While employed in his classical studies at Hempstead, he also 
commenced the acquisition of the French language under Mr. 
John H. Hentz, a private teacher, who collected a small class in 
this village. At that time it was not much appreciated, but the 
pupil's mother seconded his wishes to acquire it. His knowledge 
of this language was likewise improved by study, and by his sub- 
sequent travels in France, which enabled him to speak and write 
it with facility and correctness. Thus, his academic education 
may be said to have commenced and terminated in Mr. Cutting's 
school, his studies there being brought to a close in his seventeenth 
year, after the decease of his uncle. Dr. Samuel Latham, in 1781, 
to whom he was mainly indebted for the expenses of the educa- 
tion he had thus far received. The celebrity which our subject 
afterwards acquired is too well known to be here recited.

34 Genealogies of Long Island Families 

From the North Hempstead Town Records, we quote ver- 
batim the following interesting activities in which Dr. Mitchill 
was the prime mover : 

"The manner by which Success Pond was furnished with 
yellow perch, originally there were no yellow perch in the waters 
of the Pond at Success in this town. In the year 1790, Samuel 
L. Mitchill then a resident of North Hempstead and shortly after- 
wards a member of Assembly for Queens County, in company 
with Uriah Mitchill then Sheriff of Queens, brought them from 
Ronkonkoma Pond in Suffolk County. Those gentlemen went in 
a wagon for the express purpose of transporting alive some of the 
yellow perch from Ronkonkoma to Success. They took about 
three dozen who had been wounded most superficially by the 
hook, and dismissed all of them but two into Success Pond, 
vigorous enough to swim away. This they were enabled to do by 
filling a large churn with the water of Ronkonkoma Pond and 
putting so few fish into it that there was no' necessity of chang- 
ing it on the road ; and by driving steadily on a walk, the whole 
distance of forty miles, without stopping to refresh either man 
or horse. 

From these individuals the multiplicity of yellow perch in 
Success Pond and the neighboring waters have proceeded. Dr. 
Mitchill in his Memoir on the Fishes of New York printed in the 
1st Vol. of the Transactions of the Literary and Philosophical 
Society of N. Y., has described this fish under the name of 'Bo- 
dianus flavescens' believing it to be a species not before known to 
naturalists." 



"The manner in which the light house at the extremity of Cow 
Neck* in the Town of North Hempstead came to be built. 

As long ago as 1790, Samuel L. Mitchill was so strongly con- 
vinced that a light-house ought to be built on Sand's point, that 
he and Samuel Wood surveyed it by chain and compass that year. 
In 1805 during an excursion on board the "Active" Revenue Cut- 
ter while commanded by Capt. Caleb Brewster, "f" the expediency 
of such a light house became the subject of conversation, and on 
board of that vessel were the Memorials written by Dr. Mitchill 
which were circulated among coasters, pilots and navigators for 
subscription. All the petitions came forward to Congress during 
the winter of 1806 and that gentleman, then a Senator of the 
United States, brought in a bill for the erection and endowment 
of a light house on Cow Neck.$ It passed into a law, Jan. 26,

1806, shortly after the State of N. Y. ceded the jurisdiction. 
Gov. Tompkins purchased five acres of land for the purpose from 
Mr. Benj. Hewlett; David Gelston, Esq., Collector of the port of 
N. Y. issued proposals for the construction of the building. They 
were accepted by Messrs. Mason of New London and carried on 
with so much dispatch that the lantern was ready for the recep- 
tion of oil before the end of Nov. 1809. 

There was a grand civic festival at the place, at which the 
members of the most respectable families in the neighborhood at- 
tended ; Samuel L. Mitchill as the founder, was honored with an 
invitation to meet his fellow citizens and was there on one of the 
happiest occasions that had occurred within the recollection of 
the numerous company that assembled." 



'The manner by which the height of the Harbor Hill in 
North Hempstead* was ascertained. 

On the morning of July 20th 1816, the height of the Harbor 
Hill was determined by the barometer, and found to be three 
hundred and nineteen feet above high water mark. 

The way in which this operation came to be performed was 
this, Samuel L. Mitchill had in Dec. 181 5, been one of the visitors 
of the Military Academy at West Point. He there received from 
Capt. Partridge the Professor of Engineering in the Academy, a 
list of heights ascertained by himself in New Hampshire, Ver- 
mont and New York. Dr. Mitchill engaged him to come during 
the ensuing summer and take the altitude of the Harbor Hill in 
Queens County. Capt. Partridge accordingly called on Dr. 
Mitchill in New York on the i8th of July, informing the Doctor 
that he had come from West Point prepared for the service. The 
proper directions were given to him and he with several cadets, 
viz: Delafield, Giles and Sickels, proceeded with the barometer 
on foot, to Hempstead Harbor t on the 19th. The same day Dr. 
Mitchill, Andrew Ellicott the famous geometrician and astrono- 
mer, Mr. Griffiths of New York and Mr. Haines of Philadelphia, 
followed them in a carriage and went to Judge Mitchill'sJ at 
Plandome. The Judge and his son Warren accompanied them 
to the place of destination and the two parties met at the Har- 
bor on the 20th between break of day and sunrise. The mercury 
in the barometer and thermometer was first observed at the level 
of high tide, near the base of the hill, and afterwards on the high- 
est knoll of the summit with great nicety, and the conclusion was 
that the height was 319 feet, an elevation 28 feet higher than the

most considerable height on the Nevesink Hills in New Jersey." 
"Mill-stone Rock, on the premises of John Schenck Esq., 
North Hempstead, was admeasured by the above gentlemen on 
the same day, and ascertained to contain a mass of granite above 
the surface of the ground of 2400 cubic feet."

WICKHAM 

John Wickham the common ancestor of the family in this 
country had six sons, of whose names, only Joseph^ is known 
who was called Colonel and Esquire. He was first of the name 
on Long Island and emigrated from Killingworth Conn, to South- 
ampton where he is recorded as having a grant of land at Sagg in 
Aug. 1686 provided he staid there seven years and worked at his 
trade of a tanner which condition he fulfilled. He md. first Sarah 
Satterly, living in 1698, and secondly Elizabeth, family name un- 
known, who d. June 4, 1725 aged 31. He died at Glastenbury 
Conn., July 7, 1734. His will dated April 20th 1734 and pro- 
bated Aug. 17, 1734, mentions his children also land purchased 
of Col. Smith and Robins Island Neck now known as New Suf- 
folk. Witnesses were Joshua Budd and John Holloway. His 
Children were Joseph,^ William,- Benjamin,^ Samuel,^ Jona- 
than,^ Elizabeth,^ and AbigaiP who md. Jonathan Stader and had 
Elizabeth^ who md. John Conkling in 1740. 

Of these only the descendants of Joseph,^ Elizabeth^ and 
Abigail^ (as above) are known to present day genealogists. 

There was a Capt. Thomas Wickham who resided at East- 
hampton, concerning whose ancestry there is some doubt. That 
he was a son of either William,^ Benjamin,^ SamueP or Jona- 
than^ seems certain, but exactly which one it is impossible to 
state. He has been occasionally confused with Thomas^ son of 
Joseph,^ who was a physician and moved to Orange Co. N. Y. ; 
but they were entirely separate individuals. Capt. Wickham was 
a seafaring man and a person of some importance in revolu- 
tionary times. He was a refugee from Easthampton to Stoning- 
ton after the Battle of Long Island and was also, together with 
Thomas Bering and John Foster, an auditor of the claims of all 
the refugees. Capt. Wickham was a member of the ist 2nd and 
3rd Provincial Congresses and of the New York State Assembly 
in 179 1. He was Captain of a Privateer sloop of eight guns with 
which he was successful in taking several enemy vessels. With 
Capt. John Grinnell and Major John Davis he made an unsuc- 
cessful attack upon the British at Sag Harbor, but managed to

Pesapunck Neck in that Town and lived there. He was born in 
1705, married in 1725 according to the Gardiner genealogy and 
died March 2, 1748. His wife Elizabeth d. Feb. 11, 1769 aged 57

whose estates were confiscated by the government on account of 
their loyalty to the British cause during the Revolution. The 
others were Dr. George Muirson and Richard Floyd. He was a 
prominent man in the town and was Supervisor from 1767 to

had been in the family for two generations previous, being owned 
by Joseph^ w];io left it to his son Joseph^ who in turn bequeathed 
it to the subject of this notice. It was part of his confiscated 
estate above mentioned and was sold by the commissioners of for- 
feiture in 1784 to Col. Benjamin Tallmadge and Capt. Caleb 
Brewster for £1250.

ica which she did at her husband's house at Mattituck in i8ii. 
She was a very estimable and religious woman. The house in 
which this Sunday School was held, was built in 1790 by Joseph 
Parker Wickham* and was his home until he died in 1806 and 
afterwards housed his widow. In 1822 the dwelling was pur- 
chased by James Wickham Reeve^ son of James and Parnel 
Wickham Reeve* who occupied it until his death. The house, 
always pointed out to sightseers as the James Wickham Reeve 
house, stood until Jan. 1917 when it was torn down to make room 
for a modern dwelling. It was located on Main St. and formed 
part of what is now known as the Archer farm.

her grandfather Joseph.^ The raider was Capt. Jesse Leaven- 
worth and as Miss Wickham was a patriot, he was severely

sorrel mare. On Aug. i, 1779 Miss Wickham md. Ensign James

V. JOHN^ b. Dec. 20, 1734 and d. Aug. 7, 1808 aged 74. He 
signed the Association in 1775 which pledged its subscribers to 
support the Continental Congress and the Provincial Congress of 
the Province of New York. He is supposed to have lived at 
Easthampton and to have been a refugee from Long Island to 
Connecticut, after the Battle of Long Island fought in August 
1776, which gave possession of the Island to the British. He 
married Hannah Fanning and was the father of the following 
children : 

I. John* b. June 6, 1763 at Southold md. a d. of William 
Fanning by whom he had William^ and Edmund.^ He md. again 
a d. of Dr. McClugg of Virginia. He had a large family by his 
second wife, one of whom md. Hon. Benjamin Watkins Leigh, a 
United States Senator from Virginia. John Wickham was origi- 
nally intended for the army and with this end in view, he pur- 
sued a course of study at the military academy of Arras, France. 
He returned to this country however, without embracing the mili- 
tary profession and settled at Williamsburg Va., where in 1785 
he began the practice of law in which he was destined to excel. 
Wickham removed to Richmond Va. in 1790 and in a short time 
became one of the foremost lawyers in that city, if not in the 
entire state. Among his most important cases was the defense of 
Aaron Burr accused of treason against the Government, in the 
trial of whom he was associate counsel. This memorable event 
began May 22, 1807 and lasted with some interruptions, for six 
months. Due to the ability of his counsel. Burr was acquitted 
and the presiding justice, commenting on the case, remarked: 

"The subject has been argued in a manner worthy of its im- 
portance. A degree of eloquence seldom displayed on any occa- 
sion has embellished solidarity of argument and depth of re- 
search." He continued in the practise of the law until his death 
and amassed a considerable fortune. A man of fine address and 
courtly manners, it was said of him by the poet Moore that "he 
was the only gentleman he had found in America, and would have 
graced any court in Europe." John Wickham was a close friend 
of that eccentric but able statesman, John Randolph of Roanoke 
who made the following bequest to Wickham in his will of Jan. 
I, 1832: "To John Wickham Esq., my best friend, without mak- 
ing any professions of friendship for me, and the best and wisest 
man I ever knew, except Mr. Macon, I bequeath my mare Flora 



Genealogies of Long Island Families 47 

and my stallion Gascoigne, together with two old fashioned sil- 
ver cups, and two tankards, unengraved ; and I desire that he will 
have his arms engraved upon them, and at the bottom these 
words: 'From John Randolph of Roanoke, to John Wickham 
Esq., a token of the respect and gratitude which he never ceased 
to feel for his unparelleled kindness, courtesy and services'." 

John Wickham's grandson Williams Carter Wickham^ was a 
distinguished military officer in the Confederate Army and when 
peace was declared, devoted his best efforts towards the recon- 
struction of his native state. He was b. at Richmond Va., Sept. 
21, 1820 and d. there July 23, 1888. Henry Wickham^ a great-

of 1812 took place and went as a drummer boy with Capt. Noah

clerk 1841-44; County Clerk 1844-50; County treasurer 1852- 
55 ; and a great many offices in Southold Town. His chief bid for 
fame however, was the publication in 1882-84 of the Southold 
Town Records under his editorship, in which he incorporated 
much of his invaluable historical and genealogical knowledge. He 
was sixth in descent from Henry Case of Southold, first of the 
name on Long Island.

A reunion of the Carman family was held at Hempstead, L. I.,

and the exercises were held at Liberty Hall. For a more ex- 
tended account of this event see Vol. 13, page 48, N. Y. Genea- 
logical and Biographical Record. 

* According to the age and date of death of his son Joseph, he probably 
was a son of the third generation. 



RAYNOR 

This genealogy relates to the descendants of Edward Raynor 
who was one of the original settlers of Hempstead in 1644. An- 
other family descends from Thurston Raynor who was early at 
Southampton and whose descendants stuck pretty closely to the 
east end. Both Edward and Thurston were at Watertown Mass. 
before coming to Long Island. It is possible that they were re- 
lated and one authority states that Edward was a nephew of 
Thurston. 

The Edward Raynor family is by far the largest and most im- 
portant. The members have generally lived in Nassau and the 
western part of Suffolk County. Up to about the middle of the 
past century, the thriving village of Freeport in Nassau County 
was known as Raynortown, from the large number of the family 
residing there. It is said that Edward Raynor founded the set- 
tlement in 1659. 

Edward Raynor was a large landowner and a prominent man 
in the town. Samuel Raynor his eldest son was executor of his 
father's estate. 

The Raynors are closely related to the Carman family with 
whom they have frequently intermarried. 

Edward Raynor^ was b. at Ipswich, England in 1624 and 
emigrated to Watertown Mass., from whence he removed to 
Hempstead in 1644, when that settlement was founded. He d. 
in Dec. 1685 or Jan. 1686. His will was admitted to probate on 
Jan. 18, 1686 and his son SamueP is named as executor. Chil- 
dren were SamueP eldest son, Josiah" and probably several 
daughters. 

JosiAH^ had Henry,^ Amy^ and Sarah.' 

Samuel^ eldest son of Edward Raynor had Samuel,^ Ezekiel,' 
John,^ Mary^ and Martha.^ Of whom: 

Ezekiel^ md. his wife Amy and left the following children: 
Joseph,* James,* Benjamin,* Elijah,* John* and Daniel.* Of 
whom:

Raynor Rock Smith* was born Feb. 27, 1785 and his name 
will go down to posterity as the leader of the small band of res- 
cuers who saved eight lives from the wreck of the bark "Mexico" 
which was cast up on the beach, south of Hempstead, Jan. 2, 
1837. Of a total complement of 115 souls on board the ill-fated 
vessel, only the above mentioned eight were saved through the 
heroism of Capt. Smith. A large silver cup, with an appropriate 
inscription was presented to the Captain by a committee of ap- 
preciative gentlemen from New York. Raynor Rock Smith lived 
at Raynortown, now Freeport. 

6. Joseph^ b. Feb. 26, 1762 md. Susan d. of Amos Raynor

have been Amos,* was among those Long Islanders converted to 
Mormonism during the period of 1830-1845. He, together with 
many others from the town of Hempstead, left their native isle 
and journeyed to Nauvoo 111., and finally to Utah. The cause of 
this conversion and migration was the energetic preaching of 
Selah Lane, one of the earliest Mormon proselyters and teachers. 
Lane lived at Greenwich Point, Hempstead, and conducted well 
attended services at his house which came to be known as "the 
Temple" and which gave the sect their idea of the great temples 
or tabernacles erected at Nauvoo and Salt Lake City, so it is said. 
During the "thirties" of the past century, many Hempstead peo- 
ple left at Lane's bidding and journeyed west with him. Tradi- 
tion states that fully 1000 individuals from Long Island and ad- 
jacent territory were converted to the faith of Mormon through 
the efforts of Selah Lane.

Rev. Menzies Rayner was an eminent divine who during his 
lifetime wrote and published many religious books, some of which 
enjoyed a very extensive sale. Thompson in his "History of 
Long Island" speaking of them says : "All bear intrinsic evi- 
dence of sincerity, moderation, intelligence and industry." 

His greatest work was done among the Universalists and he 
is considered to have been one of the most important preachers of 
that faith. Before joining this society he had been allied with 
the Methodists and Episcopalians successively. From a perusal 
of his sermons, many of which were published, we see that he 
was master of a direct and efifective style of composition and no 
doubt of delivery. He was never at a loss to make his meaning 
clear to his listeners and have them feel the emotions stirring his 
own breast. At a period when some pastors felt that an involved 
style spelled excessive knowledge, his method of preaching and 
conducting services was no doubt appreciated and has evidently 
contributed to his fame. The following sketch of his life and 
work was written by Mr. Rayner himself and forwarded, by re- 
quest, to Thompson for use in his "History of Long Island." 
There the reader will find a condensed transcript of it, but here 
it is given in its entirety for the first time. In sending the ac- 
count Mr. Rayner says : 

"I send you, after so long delay, the account concerning my- 
self which you desired. You can make such use of it as you 
choose — if it is not too late. It will be seen, I believe, that I 
have not been entirely idle, and if in any instance or in any way, 
I have contributed tO' the promotion of truth and virtue among 
my fellow beings, it is what I have sincerely and constantly 
desired." 

REV. MENZIES RAYNER'S ACCOUNT OF HIS LIFE 

Rev. Menzies Rayner, Son of Benjamin and Mary Rayner, 
was born at Hempstead-South, Long Island, Nov. 23, 1770. He 
obtained his education, principally under the direction of private 
Instructors and at different periods. When very young he be- 
came a member of the Methodist Society, and at the age of nearly 
21 years, he was admitted as a Preacher in the travelling con- 
nection of that denomination, by the Conference then holding its 
session in the city of New York. Two years after this he was 



Genealogies of Long Island Families 61 

ordained in said Methodist connection, in the Town of Lynn, 
Mass — by Francis Asbury, Bishop — so called — of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church in the United States. After this he continued 
a travelling Preacher in said denomination, nearly three years, 
when receiving an invitation to settle in the Protestant Episcopal 
Church in Elisabeth Town, New Jersey, he accepted the same, 
and was, accordingly ordained as Minister of said Church (first 
Deacon, and subsequently Priest) by the Right Reverend Bishop 
Provost, of New York. He continued Pastor of that Church 
about six years, when receiving a call from the Episcopal Church 
in Hartford, Conn — he removed thither, and remained Rector of 
that Church about ten years. (During his residence there he 
preached occasionally at Warehouse Point, in East Windsor, and 
also in Glastenbury, and formed an Episcopal Society in each of 
those places.) He then, in compliance with an invitation, re- 
moved to the town of Huntington, Conn., where he became Rec- 
tor of the two Parishes of Huntington, and New Stratford, 
(since named Monroe.) Here he remained sixteen years when 
having after careful inquiry and examination, embraced the doc- 
trine of Universal Salvation — he received a call to become Pastor 
of the Universalist Church and Society in Hartford, Conn. — 
(then vacant by the removal of the Rev. Mr. Bisbee) to which 
place he removed Nov. ist, 1828 — just sixteen years from the 
time he before left it. He continued Pastor of the U. Society in 
Hartford about four years, when, at the solicitation of the U. 
Society in Portland, Maine (left vacant by the death of the Rev, 
Mr. Bisbee) he removed to that town, (now city) where he re- 
mained about four years, — with the exception of four or five 
months of the latter part of that time, which he spent at the 
South, in Virginia and North Carolina — preaching almost daily 
in different sections in those States. Soon after his return, he 
was invited to visit Troy, N. Y., where, not long afterwards, he 
removed, in which place, and at Lansingburgh — three miles above 
— he remained about four years more — preaching also, part of 
the time at Schenectady, Fort Ann, and Hartford, N. Y. 

In the latter part of August 1840 he removed to the city of 
New York — where he had two sons residing. Here he ministered 
about a year as Pastor pro-tem, to the Universalist Society in 
Bleeker Street, which had recently been left vacant by the re- 
moval of Rev. Mr. Le Fevre, who is now Pastor of the U. Society 
in Hudson. His residence is still in New York, where he of- 
ficiates alternately to the fifth Universalist Society in this city, 
and to the U. Society in Newark, New Jersey, the Rev. Mr. Hal- 
lock supplying said Societies in like manner. 

Rev. Mr. Raynor was married at Enfield, Ct. July 5th, 1795, 
to Rebecca Bontecou, a daughter of Dr. Daniel Bontecou, of New

Haven; by whom (and who is still living) he has had twelve 
children — six sons and six daughters — nine of them viz. four 
sons and five daughters are living — their names are the follow- 
ing, Miriam Powell, Caroline Starr, Daniel Bontecou, (deceased) 
Benjamin Lester, William Charles, (deceased) Daniel Olcott, 
Rebecca Bontecou, Menzies, Mary Martha, Jane Elizabeth Barry, 
William Charles, and Cornelia Shelton, (deceased). 

His publications — all upon the subject of Theology, — have 
been considerably numerous — though none of them are very 
large. While situated in the Episcopal Church in Huntington, 
Ct., he published, in the year 1818, a small duodecimo volume, of 
210 pages, entitled "A Catechism of the Bible," which has been 
very generally approved, and considerably used as a Sunday school 
book. Soon after this — during a season of great religious excite- 
ment, he published a small 18 mo work, entitled "A Dissertation 
upon Extra ordinary awakenings, or Religious Stirs," etc., etc. — 
the first edition of which 1500 copies, was sold within a few 
eke, and another edition of 3000 copies was printed and pub- 
lished at Hudson, N. Y. During his ministry at Huntington he 
also wrote and published several Pamphlets — Reviews — Sermons, 
etc. among which was "A Review of a sermon on Regeneration 
by Rev. Mr. Taylor, of New Haven;" and also a Review of a 
sermon by Dr. Tyler — then of Southbury Ct, on the Persever- 
ce of the Saints — (highly Calvinistic). This Review was re- 
plied to by Dr. Tyler, and which Mr. Rayner followed by another 
review, in a pamphlet of 60 pages, which closed the controversy. 
He also published, while in Huntington, a pamphlet of between 
30 and 40 pages entitled "The Force of Prejudice," etc. 

During his residence in Hartford, as a Universalist Minister, 
he edited and published a weekly Paper, called "The Religious 
Inquirer" — the Rev. Mr. Paige, of Springfield, Mass. being assis- 
tant Editor, a part of the time. While in Portland he edited as- 
sisted by Rev. Mr. Brimblecom, a weekly Paper called "The Chris- 
tian Pilot." While resident Minister of the Universalist Society 
in Portland, he delivered several courses of Lectures upon dif- 
ferent subjects, among which were nine Lectures on the Parable 
of the "Rich Man and Lazarus," which soon after were published 
in a volume, by Marsh, Capon and Lyon, Boston. Another course 
was on "Revivals of Religion" — Protracted meetings, anxious- 
seats, etc., with their accompaniments and results — with a de- 
scription of a true revival of Religion. These lectures were six 
in number, and which were published, first in the "Christian 
Pilot," and then in a small i8mo volume, and extensively circu- 
lated. While in Portland he also published a Review of a Mis- 
sionary Sermon by Dr. Tyler — then Minister of a Congregational 
Society in the city. Here also he commenced a work entitled 



Genealogies of Long Island Families 63 

"The Universalist Manual or Book of Prayers and other Religious 
Exercises" etc., which he completed while residing in Troy and 
Lansingburgh, comprising 286 pages and which was Stereotyped in 
New York, and several editions published, by P. Price, No. 130, 
Fulton Street.

SATTERLY 



Among the original proprietors of Brookhaven in 1656 was 
William Satterly^ who with John Moger and Samuel Dayton, 
was drowned in Long Island Sound sometime between 1677 and 
1680, in returning from Milford Conn., where they had been for 
the purpose of having their own and their neighbor's grain ground 
into flour as was the practise of that day before the erection of a 
mill in Brookhaven. Their hats were found washed ashore on 
the beach but their bodies were never recovered. William Sat- 
terly^ was a man of considerable wealth and possessed silver 
household utensils which were exceedingly rare in those days. 

He is supposed to be one of three brothers who came from 
Cheshire, England, the other two settling in Connecticut and the 
southern part of the United States respectively. This is the 
opinion held by the older generations of the family on Long Island 
and some in Connecticut and is so stated in an account of the fam- 
ily written by Isaac S. Satterly^ son of Col. Isaac,^ about 1830. 
On the other hand Augustus F. Satterlee of the Connecticut 
branch in a Ms. genealogy of his branch compiled in 1849 fo"" 
Benjamin F. Thompson, states that their ancestor Benedict, who 
emigrated to Connecticut about 1680 from the vicinity of Exeter, 
Devonshire England, was a son of William Satterly who may 
have been the William that settled on Long Island, as he sug- 
gests. Although this supposition has not been proved, I think it 
is correct as there seems to be considerable difference in the ages 
of William and Benedict, but they could very well be father and 
son. If so, Benedict came to this country at a later period than 
William. Whatever the exact relation between the progenitors 
of the two branches may be, it is very probable that they belonged 
to the same family, as this opinion has been held by the older 
generations of both branches who no doubt had evidences of this 
fact which we do not possess. 

The Long Island family have preserved the old spelling Sat- 
terly, while those in New England spell it Satterlee. 

William^ son of William^ resided at Setauket and was also 
a prominent man in the town. It is related of him that he owned 
property on the south side of the island and while there, fell by 
accident into the Great South Bay. He was rescued by an Indian 
woman to whom he gave a Dutch blanket every year during the 
balance of his life, in gratitude for saving his life. 

The compiler has in his possession an inventory of William 
Satterly's estate taken Jan, 10, 1729, seven years after his death.

and during the War of 1812 was Captain of a company of Militia 
which was stationed at Sag Harbor. In 1824 he came into pos- 
session of the grist mill located on the stream running into Con- 
science Bay, in the western part of the village. This mill was 
built by John Wade under a grant from the town dated March 
31, 1680. About one hundred years later Richard Woodhull was 
the owner. When the mill finally became the property of Col. 
Satterly, he released the town from its obligation to keep the 
dam in repair, which clause had been incorporated in the grant to 
Wade in 1680. Until recent times, the mill was in possession of 
Col. Satterly and his descendants. It is still in operation.

tecture and should attract the attention of those interested. Gen. 
Satterly as a young man, was a member of the branch of the 
Tammany Society instituted at Setauket in 1810 by his close 
friend Benjamin F. Thompson. He was also Postmaster of

inal proprietors of Brookhaven Town, settling at Setauket in 
1655. He was a large property owner and a prominent man in 
the settlement. His will is dated November 17th 1698 and he 
died shortly after either in November or December of the same 
year as the certificate of probation of his will proved April 27th 
1699, mentions that he died in 1698. In this instrument he men- 
tions his wife Mary (family name unknown) and his children

Micah Hawkins was a musical genius and could per- 
form creditably upon the piano, flute or violin. He composed 
many songs and musical pieces which were published and proved 
to be popular. Several copies of the original editions of these 
publications are still in possession of members of the family. He 
is best known however, as the author and composer of the first 
original American Opera, entitled "The Saw Mill," which had a 
satisfactory run at Henry Wallack's Chatham Theatre in New 
York City, during 1824. Besides his musical activities Micah 



92 Genealogies of Long Island Families 

Hawkins kept a grocery store in Catharine St. New York, in 
which was installed a piano and he was wont to regale his cus- 
tomers with a little music when they visited his shop. 

He was a pleasant conversationalist, possessed a ready vein of 
wit and withal a good singer. It especially pleased him to sing 
his own songs which he did with great gusto. His portrait painted 
by Louis Child and retouched by his nephew William S. 
Mount, hangs in the Hawkins-Mount house at Stony Brook L. I. 
where he was born. It is said of him that he always wore a white 
cravat, which fact is attested by the portrait. Micah Hawkins 
was a close friend of Benjamin F. Thompson, the historian, who 
did much to encourage him in his musical efforts. For a further 
account of this interesting individual see Oscar Wegelin's "Micah 
Hawkins and The Saw Mill." 

Of the printed edition of the "Saw Mill" only two copies are 
known to be in existence today, one belonging to Brown University 
and the other in the hands of a private collector. The book is 
therefore much sought after by collectors of Americana, par- 
ticularly those interested in early drama.

* William S. Mount ranks high among American artists and his work 
today is much sought after. Probably no one will ever be his equal in 
depicting the happy side of American country life. His "Power of Music" 
and "Farmer's Nooning" are famous and in their engraved form have gone 
into many a home throughout our land. The scenes of most of his pic- 
tures are laid on Long Island, many of them near his home at Stony 
Brook. He lived during a considerable portion of his life in the Hawkins 
homestead at Stony Brook. He was in truth, Long Island's artist — but 
his fame knew no bounds. Space forbids a longer account of his genius 
but the inquiring reader is referred to "Historical Miscellanies Relating to 
Long Island" bv the compiler of this genealogy, where a more extended 
account of his life and work may be found. His brothers Henry S. and 
Shepard A. Mount were also artists of considerable ability. Shepard A. 
Mount's portraits especially, take high rank.

Capt. Ebenezer Hawkins'^ was born at Stony Brook, Janu-

life. Later on with his brothers Simeon S.'' Edward^ and Jede-

ARTHUR SMITH 



There are six distinct Smith famiHes on Long Island viz: 
Weight Smiths, Rock Smiths, Blue Smiths, Tangier Smiths, Bull 
Smiths and Arthur Smiths. They received their distinguishing 
prefixes through some circumstance or peculiarity connected with 
the early generations of the respective families. Thus the Weight 
Smiths possessed the only set of scales and weights in their 
locality ; the Rock Smith's progenitor was known as Rock John to 
differentiate him from other John Smiths residing at Stamford 
Conn, from whence he removed to Long Island ; the ancestor of 
the Blue Smiths always wore a blue coat which he was exceed- 
ing proud of and never lost a chance of exhibiting; the Tangier 
Smiths are descended from Col. William Smith, mayor of the 
city of Tangier, Africa, then a British colony, where he resided 
before coming to America ; the Bull Smiths take their name from 
the habit which their ancestor' Major Richard Smith had of rid- 
ing a bull instead of a horse and lastly the Arthur Smiths are 
descendants of Arthur Smith one of the original proprietors of 
Brookhaven Town in Suffolk County. The Weight, Rock and 
Blue Smiths are found mostly in Queens and Nassau Counties, 
while the Tangier, Bull and Arthur varieties are native to Suf- 
folk County. 

Having thus mentioned the several divisions, we can now 
look to the following genealogy ^| the Arthur Smith family about 
which less has been written than any other Smith clan, therefor 
all the more interesting to the student. Always bear in mind that 
the ancestors of these families were not related in any way, shape 
or form. Frequent intermarriages have taken place between the 
families however. The Arthur Smith family is fully as ancient 
as the others. 

The progenitor was Arthur Smith/ one of the original pro- 
prietors of Brookhaven Town in Suffolk County which was set- 
tled in 1655. Very little is known of him except that he had three 
sons Daniel,^ SamueP and Arthur.^ He resided at Setauket, the 
earliest settlement in the Town.

MILLS 



This genealogy relates to the Suffolk County branch of the 
family, descendants of Timothy Mills who settled at Smith- 
town in 1693. The other branch remained at Jamaica. Members 
of both branches were fairly numerous during the i8th and first 
half of the 19th centuries, but are now greatly reduced. 

Among the early settlers of Jamaica L. I. was George Mills^ 
born in 1585 and died aged 89, Oct. 17, 1674 at Jamaica. He was 
probably a descendant of John Mills who was made freeman of 
Boston in 1632. Children were SamueP and Nathaniel^ who d. 
Nov. 4, 1728. 

Samuel Mills^ was born in 1631, md. in 1658 and was 
reputed to have had 16 children. He died at Jamaica March 9, 
1726, aged 95. Among his children was Timothy.^ 

Timothy Mills^ (SamueP) born at Jamaica in 1667, was the 
progenitor of the Suffolk Co. Mills and moved to that part of 
Smithtown since called Mills Pond in 1693. He died March 
30th 175 1 aged 84. His will bears date of March 16, 1741. He 
married first Elizabeth, family name unknown and secondly Sarah 
Longbotham. 

The settlement of Mills Pond is a collection of dignified old 
houses surrounding a small pond situated on the North Country 
road about four miles east of the village of Smithtown Branch. 
It lies within the town of Smithtown and has always been the 
residence of one or more members of the family since the days of 
Timothy Mills the common ancestor. Mr. Dubois Smith, a grand- 
son of William Wickham Mills, is the present owner of the Pond 
and the Mills homestead. 

CHILDREN OF TIMOTHY MILLS^

his second wife Sarah Longbotham he had :

RECORD OF MY LIFE AND OF 
THE GREENE FAMILY 

compiled by 

Rev. Zachariah Greene 

At Hempstead, L. I. 

April, 1 85 1 

The following is an account of my paternal ancestors — col- 
lected from the records of the town of Woburn, Middlesex Co., 
Mass., and other reliable sources. Extracts were sent me by 
Nathan Weyman Esq., town clerk of Woburn. 

William Greene was one of the first settlers of Woburn in 
1642 ; and one of the original subscribers to the "Town Orders" 
agreed upon at Charlestown in 1640. William and John brothers, 
were born in London. In the time of persecution they left their 
native city and went to Hamburgh. John married Perseverence 
Johnston. When he came to this country he brought with him 
his wife and three children and settled in Charlestown, Mass. 
William married Hannah Richardson at what time is not now 
known. His son William married Hannah Kendall whose fam- 
ily came from Devonshire, England. John, Obadiah and James 
were members of the first church in Woburn. Dea. Thomas 
Kendall died at South Reading, Mass., in 1682. 

William Greene, last mentioned had 10 children, viz : William 
born Sept. 9, 1675; Frances Dec. 3, 1678; Ebenezer July, 1680; 
Mehitable June 30, 1682; Hannah, Oct. 7, 1684; Mary, Nov. 13, 
1686; Samuel, July 8, 1689; Jacob, Oct. 169 1 ; Joseph, April 14, 
1694; and Abigail, 1699.

Cranch who was of the family of Cranches in Devonshire, Eng- 
land. He died in my father's house, at Hanover, Grafton Co., 
N. H., Dec. 16, 1790, aged 99. His children, 7 in number, were: 
Elizabeth, Jacob, Samuel, Mary, Abigail, David, and Benjamin. 

Samuel Greene was my father. He was born in Sunbury, 
Worcester Co., Mass., March i, 1723 ; and died at Hanover, N. H., 
Aug. 21, 1807 aged 84. My mother's name was Jane White. She 
was the daughter of Robert and Jane White who emigrated from 
the city of Dublin, and were among the first settlers of the town 
of Stafford, Hartford Co., Conn. She was born April 6, 1731 ; 
and died May 30, 1813, at Hanover N. H. aged 82, They had

Genealogies of Long Island Families 127 

Mary Howard Greene married June lo, 1810, Dr. Benjamin 
Franklin Thompson son of Dr. Samuel and Phoebe Thompson, 
Brookhaven. 

Herman Dagget Greene married March 22, 1820, Harriet 
Maria Carpenter of the city of Savannah, Georgia. She was an 
orphan lady whose father was drowned on his passage to Dublin. 
Herman died in Savannah Oct. 23, 1827, leaving a widow and 
three daughters, Sarah Jayne, Susan Eliza and Margaret Hart. 
Two months and sixteen days after his father's decease, Jan. 3, 
1828, a son was born and named Herman Dagget. This son died 
suddenly in his i8th year — a youth of much promise. 

Susan Howard Greene married, Feb. 22, 1825, John Gilbert 
Fleet, son of Rennselaer and Sarah Fleet of Southold, L. I. She 
died at Jamaica L. I. Feb. 18, 1826, leaving a son born Jan. 14, 
1826 named Augustin who died at my house, Aug. 5, 1826. 

Samuel White Greene chose a seafaring life ; and served an 
apprenticeship with Capt. Richard Pendergrast of New York. 
When 20 years old, he was Master of a Brig; and was twice cap- 
tured by the French in the last war with England. The last re- 
liable account of him was given us by Howel Hart son of Rev. 
Joshua Hart, who sailed with him several voyages to the great 
Oronoko river on the Spanish Main ; and there finally left him in 
the month of June 1831. Never heard of since, 

William Howard Greene left home Oct. 1821, on a visit to 
Savannah, returning next June. He ultimately decided to settle 
in that city, and accordingly sailed thither Oct. 1822. Subse- 
quently, he was clerk of a steamboat which went to Charleston 
S. C. for repairs. While there he was taken sick and on the sec- 
ond or third day he was removed to the house of Capt. Lubbock 
where he was attended by Dr. North till he died Aug. 14, 1828. 
He was interred in the churchyard of the Second Presbyterian 
Church called "Flynn's Church;" and a monument placed at his 
grave. 

I was dismissed from my charge over the Fourth Church in 
Southold, (called Cutchogue) Sept. 9, 1797; and installed pastor 
of the First Presbyterian Church in Brookhaven (called Setau- 
ket) on the 27th day of the same month. 

I still settled at a great distance from my father's family, and 
had little knowledge of the race after I entered the Revolutionary 
Army ; and I neglected looking after them till old age overtook 
me : then I began the pleasing though difficult task. To accom- 
plish this I wrote to the Town Clerk of Woburn ; also to Mr. 
Nathaniel R. Greene of Newport R. L, son of Maj. Genl. Nathan- 
iel Greene. And at length being furnished with extracts from 



128 Genealogies of Long Island Families 

the records of the towns of Woburn and Warwick — and infor- 
mation also from other authentic sources — I have written this ac- 
count of our family. 

Thompson's History does not furnish the maiden names of 
the wives of the two William Greenes : the first was Hannah 
Richardson — the second was Hannah Kendall. They and the 
Cranch family came from Devonshire, England. 

My father moved from Stafford, Conn, to Brookfield, Wor- 
cester Co., Mass., 1773. From thence to Hanover, Grafton Co., 
N. H., 1782. 

The husband of my daughter Sally Fleet, Capt. Charles Jayne, 
died on his passage from old Mexico to New Orleans, May 1832.* 
His widow married Samuel Vail Esq., of Sharonville in Reading, 
Hamilton Co. Ohio, May 15th 1834. 

I was with the men who erected the Fort on Dorchester Neck; 
and the cannon mounted there drove the British army from the 
town of Boston. I also made one of the party which entered 
Boston next day, after the departure of the British vandals who 
had well earned this title by their brutish conduct. 

My grandfather settled in Sunbury, Worcester Co., Mass., 
where my father was born ; and I think Jacob, Elizabeth and 
Mary also. Thence he moved to Colchester Conn, where his 
other children David, Abigail, and Benjamin, I believe were born. 
His first wife died in Stafford time unknown. 

My father served in what is called the "the old French war" 
against Canada. He was a volunteer when the British took Now 
York — and a volunteer also when Burgoyne with his army were 
captured. His two sons also served, one 3 years, and the other 
4 years ; so that his posterity have a good title to the free institu- 
tions of the United States. 

I will add the names of my brothers and sisters — 12 of whom 
were born in Stafford Conn ; Ebenezer W. in Brookfield Mass. 
Jonathan, b. March 26, 1750; d. April 15, 1831. 
Anne, b. March 18, 1751 ; d. Feb. 28, 1841. 
Samuel, b. Jan. 24, 1753; d. March 30, 1808. 
Joseph, b. May 17, 1755; d. Dec. 3, 1803, drowned. 
Lusina, b. Nov. 21, 1757; d. Feb. 30, 1845. 
Zachariah, b. Jan. 11, 1760; d. June 21, 1858.! 
Deborah, b. June 14, 1762; d. Feb. 26, 1855. 
Mary, b. Sept. 15, 1763; d. Aug. 21, 1795. 
Susannah, b. Feb. 5, 1766; d. Oct. 19, 1841. 

* Thompson, in the preceding article on Greene family says Sept. 19 
1833.

Ebenezer White, b. Sept. 15, 1776; d. Sept. 1801, drowned. 

Ebenezer was lost in a gale of wind at sea, off the Cape of 
Good Hope bound to Canton. Joseph was drowned in Long Island 
Sound. He sailed from New Haven Conn, in a two mast boat 
with the owner and master, Mr. James Skinner, to pay me a visit 
at Setauket. The wind was blowing a gale and the boat foundered 
near Setauket Harbor, when both were lost ! This same brother 
was with me, when the British landed at Throgg's Point; and 
with me also in the battles of White Plains and White Marsh.* 

In the battle of White Marsh, we were both wounded within 
a few minutes of each other; and both in the left shoulder. His 
wound did not injure the bone; but mine fractured the scapula 
and clavicle, weakening and injuring the use of the arm. This 
occurred Dec. 7, 1777. Our wounds were dressed by candle light 
in one of General Washington's rooms, which he had opened to 
accommodate the wounded. We then took our lodgings for the 
night, in a horse shed, with some buckwheat straw for our bed, 
and without even a blanket to cover us. It was a long and pain- 
ful night ! My garments were saturated with blood ; and the 
severe fatigue of the battle, the loss of blood, with the chill of 
the cold night air, subjected me to distressing cramps in my breast 
and limbs. Early in the morning, Gen. Greene stopped before the 
shed and kindly said, that in three hours, he would send his boy 
to inform us where he had obtained a room for us. He did so, 
having obtained one in the house of Mr. Denahousyn in White 
Marsh. Here we were treated with kindness by the family ; and 
some of the daughters dressed our wounds for three weeks. But 
the bones were so shattered and the flesh so badly mangled, that 
there could be no relief for me, till after a good surgical opera- 
tion. 

At the end of three weeks, we were removed to Reading, for 
the benefit of the Hospital ; though the Yellow fever was among 
its inmates. There we hired a room; and there chanced to be a 
Surgeon of a British Regiment, then on parole in the village, by 
the name of Robinson, whom we engaged to perform the opera- 
tion of removing the dead flesh and sawing and taking away the 
fractured bones. It was very painful, but necessary to a cure. 

When I first called this British Surgeon, he asked me, "Will 
you trust an enemy ?" I replied, *T will trust a gentleman." When 
I came to settle with him, he said, "While a prisoner; as I am, 

* The British Army were robbing the inhabitants of White Marsh of 
their horses, cows, bedding, grain and whatever they could lay hands on.

I am not allowed to take any pay." But this I managed to his 
satisfaction — so that John Bull was never the wiser or richer for 
the compensation I cheerfully made him, for his very valuable 
services. 

In this same battle, my brother had eleven ball holes in his 
outside garment. He was in the battle at Monmouth — and with 
Wayne, at the taking by storm of Stony Point. 

I was admitted to the Dartmouth College Church, under the 
pastoral charge of the Rev. Sylvanus Ripley, D. D., with 49 
others, in the winter of 1782. Fourteen of this number became 
clergymen; of whom none are now living except myself, now in 
the 92nd year of my age.
